PDFs hosted on your website are downloaded by visitors, indexed by search engines, and affect your page load speed. Large PDFs slow everything down — they increase bounce rates, hurt SEO, and cost more bandwidth. Compressing your PDFs before uploading them to your site keeps downloads fast and your visitors happy.

Common Use Cases
Product Catalogs and Price Lists
E-commerce sites and manufacturers often host product catalogs as downloadable PDFs. Compressing them ensures customers can download quickly without waiting, especially on mobile devices.

Restaurants linking to PDF menus on their website need fast-loading files. A visitor on their phone should be able to view your menu in seconds, not wait for a large file to download.
Brochures and Marketing Materials
Marketing brochures, case studies, and company profiles hosted for download should be optimized for web. Smaller files mean more completed downloads and better lead generation.
